Perfect Gift Idea – Co-edes in a Box for Gardeners

There are two types of gardeners. The first type are gardeners that love their gardens and plants. You know the type that spend hours working and putting together the garden. This type of gardener loves their plants. And they will spend hours visiting their garden and noting down what herbs and flowers are growing in it. They talk about the colors and weather to other gardeners and then describe what they have grown that they see growing. They give tips and they share their plant tips with other gardeners. They always have so much great information to give and these gardeners are always up to the minute when it comes to planting and using chemicals and fertilizers.

The second type of gardener is the sort of gardener who doesn’t love their plants or their gardens. That is the type that get nothing for their plants and just watch them die. They still note what plant worked well in their garden or what plants may have failed in some aspect. The gardener also won’t accept any and all help from others. They have the opinion that there is no way anyone can own an independent garden of any size and make it thrive. They think that it is beyond their capabilities.

I am somewhat of the second type of gardener. I enjoy my gardens and they are finished 12 months earlier than most people. So I get quite a few invites to plant or help with my garden.

As I have such a big garden I decide to plant my small herbs in one section and plants my larger plantings in another. Then I plant flowers and vegetables. I find I quite enjoy working in the garden. Not to mind people coming over to see by and see the garden, I enjoy seeing each plant develop in front of my eyes.

This month I decided to plant some co-edes in my garden. I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of these little guys and they were a perfect gift for my plans for the backyard.

I designed the layout of my garden and sought the help of my garden designer to guide me through the project.

My garden designer had me do a survey of what I did best in the past, of what worked and what didn’t. After that the work began. Every garden store carries plant starters. I chose four varieties from each group. Those that will get the most sun at each place on the allotment.

I arranged them in the soil section to get an idea of size and where to put them, with clumps and Separate them into Pots and Planting sections.

Then they were planted into the ground according to size and spread apart into rows and planting areas. I will propagate my transplants so I’ll be gently pulling the living saplings out of the ground.

I feel I was very successful in planting my co-edes. They are in the process of surviving and waiting until they have formed roots on their new homes.

When they arrive I’ll be checking on them every day and checking to see how well they are doing. If they are struggling I’ll be doing the same. When they’re thriving I’ll be attending to them. They don’t like to be disturbed much and I’ll get discouraged if I try and take them for a long walk when they’re vulnerable and I only have to duck under to avoid any possible harm.

I love it. Planting them and watching them grow and their colors have never left. This is what I’ve come to think of as a perfect gift for a garden lover. It’s without expense, probably the most modern of gifts you can give and will provide pleasure for the recipient for a little while at least, and give you the pleasure of tending the garden.
